This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

winter garlic shoots

In my community garden plot, I was pleased to spot some garlic shoots today. These are in an area where I transplanted one year old top sets last fall. They're still tiny, but are up and green. The area I planted with larger bulbs is still snow covered. That's all the plant life I could see in the plot.

I'm so glad I found your blog on a google search. We just moved to the area and I was looking for some info on planting times for zone 6. If you don't mind, I'm going to add a link to your blog on my family blog. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Glad the seeds arrived. And I added mouse overs so you can find the mini garlic shoots.

I enjoyed visiting my plot yesterday and really look forward to a time when I have reason to visit it every day. Today was just an indoor work day.

Looks like I'll be helping with the Belmont Community Garden organization this coming season. I'll attend a meeting next week. Though I don't really have time for another project, I really enjoy the community plots and will do what I can to help out.

Since you mentioned 'The Great Escape' in my post about potato vodka, we rented it. My son and I have had such fun watching and rewatching this old movie. Love Steve McQueen and that potato scene! Thanks!
